Discovered in Bar Sacristia, San Fernando, the find has prompted confusion, with comments like: “Wow, I want whatever they had!”

The post was anonymously submitted to @soycamarero, an X (formerly Twitter) account where serving staff share their experiences.

The post has also garnered attention from other waiters who shared the odd items they have seen left behind including wigs, blood samples and a false leg.

In an even more bizarre turn, others revealed they have found a Vera Wang wedding dress and an urn. 

None of the patrons returned to find their lost items and it is unknown if the wheelchair owner ever claimed the item.
